PetShopBowl Bonfire Night Giveaway

To prepare for the cold winter ahead, PetShopBowlare giving away a Feliway calming diffuser (RRP of £28.29) which lasts up to 4 weeks, to one of my readers. It works by giving out a special scent (odourless to people and other animals) that utilizes a replication of the pheromone that cats leave naturally when they are feeling comfortable in their environment. Every time a cat rubs its nose against objects in the home, it leaves behind this pheromone to mark its territory. Even small changes in your home can upset your cat and prevent them from leaving this pheromone, which in turn makes them feel less secure, and increases their stress. Activities such as redecorating, moving the furniture, having guests, going to the cattery and moving home will remove these natural pheromones for your cat, causing it stress.

Stress can lead to unhappy behaviour such as less interaction with you, hiding away, general mischief or even scratching or spraying. Using Feliway will help maintain the scent that gives your cat the feeling of peace and calm and reduce the stress that your cat experiences, creating a home where you and your cat will always be ‘happy together’. Even issues like scratching and spraying can be managed. Especially with fireworks night fast approaching, this competition couldn’t be better timed!

Our westie is terrified of the fireworks and I have to give her a sedative which I don’t like but she is 10 years old and I can’t have her being distressed. She usually dives under my bed when she hears them going off.

I’m lucky, the current dogs were all brought up with an older dog who was stone deaf. On hearing a bang they turned to her to see what she did and seeing her lack of reaction assumed that it was normal and ignored it. Our family dog we had when I

Curtains drawn, television on, favourite food down for them. Let them hide under the bed if they want to, and cuddle them if that is better. I have two cats that worry about the noise, and two that will happily sit in the window and watch the fireworks.

My little rescue Parsons Terrier -Lizzie shook with fright on Bonfire day on the year we got her. Her little teeth clattered and she couldn’t get close enough to me -tucking herself into my lap so that I couldn’t move.I bought a plug in calming diffuser and she although still very concerned and fidgety ,was less distressed and the teeth stopped clattering . we always turn the TV up and all of us play ballie indoors to try and distract her -she also has a frolicat toy that she loves chasing (a reflected lazer light) so we do our best for her!

I like to spend the day with my cat if possible, giving her lots of attention and playing with her to prepare her for the fireworks later that night. If I’ve spent time with her in the day she’s more inclined to feel closer to me and sit with me when she feels uneasy as she’s often more independent than the cuddle up on your knee type. It is getting more difficult these days though as fireworks seem to be popular for all occassions.

both my dogs are rehomed and lucy is a very nervous dog, she is relaxed sitting with me, so we tend to stay in and lucy sits with me all night, we usually have a movie on with volume up slightly so it drowns out the noise a bit

Cow is the only one bothered by the fireworks, Zoe and Tiny happily watch out of the window. Feliway or the cheaper version from PetsatHome helps, along with plenty of dark confined spaces. My cat carrier is always out complete with blankets both inside and over the top. Cow uses it whenever he wants somewhere to hide.
